Book Excerpt

Bill of Human Wrongs

They approached the border gate, and stopped in the line
of cars waiting to enter White Town. People selling the latest edition of the
local paper went from car to car, each driver giving them change for the news
of Conchita. Word was out, Conchita’s
body had been found in the bus near Black Town. They drove in silence until
they were safely over the border. Ron drove to a restaurant where he parked and
went inside to get breakfast for three. To go.

When
he returned, they sat in the car while Christine read to them, interpreting as
she went. “Ron, this doesn’t sound good. The officials in Black Town are now on
a suspicion list, this is really bad, guys. I mean if more ghettos get into
this brawl, it could be dangerous for everyone, I mean all the townships might
speak up, they might finally fight back.”

“Honey,
we’ve talked about this day coming, we can’t be surprised. If a revolt does
happen though, I want us in a safe place. Ladies, I’m not sure it’s a good idea
to go home until all this has blown over. I should have told you before we left,
but I wasn’t sure then. I am now. This news is not good for any of us.”

Eve
uncrossed her legs to prevent a cramp that was attempting to take over her
right foot. “I know of a cheap hotel in the city, I stayed there the other
night. Let’s go check into it, Ron. I have the money that Sandy gave me.”

Ron
was taken aback, “What the hell, Eve. Why are you carrying that wad around?” He
laughed at himself. “On second thought, you’re brilliant to have brought it.”

Eve
giggled, “Hey, isn’t Friday Constitution Day? We can think of this as a holiday
to enjoy the event.”

Christine
had been unusually quiet after her reading. The news had made her ponder ideas
she and Ron had talked about for years. “You know? It’s never made sense to me
that we have no history prior to 30 years back, starting with Constitution Day.
Eve, have you spent time wondering what could have happened to erase the past?
Was it so horrific, so terrible that the government intervened and somehow
wiped an entire population’s memory banks? I mean, what the hell could it have
been? Does anyone know or remember what it was like before? The President,
maybe?” She turned to face Eve in the back seat, “What are you, 40 something,
Eve? I mean, I would guess younger, but I know you have grown boys.”

“Yes,
Christine. I’m in my early forties. Why do you ask?”

Ron
watched his wife go on, his love and admiration for her overwhelmed him.

“Don’t
you wonder why you can’t remember back, I mean over 30 years back? Doesn’t that
bother you? Ron and I have had talks about this many times. I guess it makes us
sound like conspiracy theorists, but if it doesn’t make sense, there’s usually
a reason for that.”

“I
don’t understand what you mean, everyone knows this. Our country began then,
it’s pretty simple. Our leaders wanted this to be a safe and prosperous
country, and the only way they knew for that to happen was to forget the
ugliness and war prior to that. It must have been a terrible place, people not
going out at night, locking their doors. Always afraid of thugs wanting to hurt
them. Why should we remember those ways? That kind of knowledge can only teach
the future to be ugly too. Listen, what are the chances that this Conchita cover-up will be taken care of by Friday? I want
to enjoy fireworks and a nice BBQ.”

Ron
looked at Eve, totally surprised by her ignorance. “Eve, you don’t really
believe any of what you just said, do you?”

She
felt sick inside, and looked at him sadly. “No Ron. I’m sorry, you guys. I’m so
used to pretending. Actually, I don’t know what is real or not. I have the same
thoughts as you guys. I read a lot, and discuss books with friends. The book
we’re currently reading is Atlas Shrugged. Now why does the government let us
read books that were written prior to the day our Constitution was signed?” She
thought for a few moments. “Come to think of it, the books I read are fiction,
I don’t know of any non-fiction out there that talks of times prior to our founding
date. They must have destroyed records. At least those dealing with the
accounts of history.”
